Final report (English)

The CNB-building of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich, is located downtown. As a part of the renovation of the building, a new photovoltaic installation has been realized. The building is subject of local historical monument preservation and protection codes. Therefore, the PV modules are of one colour and installed as symmetrical as possible. The installation has a power of 17.6 kW peak and consists of standard thin-film-modules. A display in the new cafeteria provides information about the service of the installation. Together with the engineering office energiebüro ag, BE Netz installed the plant in June 2006. The objective to integrate the photovoltaic installation in the roof landscape as decent as possible has been accomplished. With 18’409 kWh in the first year of production, the performance is at least equal to standard cristallin solutions.
